PM UpdateChrissi
  • Marketing meeting - thank you from Chrissi and Nigel
    • Specific acknowledge for Sam on the work on the crossword. Tania was the winner (somewhat questionably)
  • WIP II RAID
    • Following some discussion with Nigel on how to best escalate decision points, and to try and centralise the risks being documented across Confluence the RAID section has been developed
    • This builds on the central risk register and creates an issue, decision and action log
    • The use of tasks as noted in the action columns will filter into the central action log
    • Any use of tasks across the WIPII space will filter into the action log
    • This requires whole team input and will be reviewed in each team meeting going forward
  • Analysis & decisions
    • Reminder for the team to escalate urgent issues/questions ASAP and speak to me rather than wait for responses via Confluence/email etc.
    • Also to raise any requirements for analysis rather than doing it yourself - Paul and Chrissi could pick this work up
  • Any blockers?
    • Nothing raised
  • Academic terms noted on the decision log and team asked to ensure the current approved terms i.e. course not paper, are used until agreed otherwise.
Open DayChrissi
  • Unable to test at FAD - Fay has offered to contact 1st yr students on our behalf
    • The team noted that future students are preferred for testing. We may not be able to tap into any contacts that the faculty collect on open day so would need to seek alternative sources.
  • Topics taxonomy - Andrew will be going round the hub on Friday to get some feedback on the topic groupings.
    • Noted will ensure not to get in anyones way and keep it short.
  • No collections for charity, or otherwise (smile)
TestingPaul/Joe
  • Feedback on wireframe to date - Joe ran through some questions on the programme wireframe.
    • Discussed how to display the content if a major is not pre-selected
    • Questioned around how to group content from the plan - Anne suggested 3 main groupings
    • Discussion on whether we are aiming to provide enough information for a student to enrol, or to be guided onto a student adviser. This will impact the level of detail in the writing so needs resolving ASAP.
  • Next steps for testing
    • Wireframe testing - Future students, and potentially 1st yr Arch UG
    • Postgraduate testing is planned next, but Paul noted that this is linked with International
Topics with one subjectJoe/Sam
  • How will the topic page adjust/change for topics with only one subject (eg. law, tourism management)?
    • Where there is only one subject within a topic, Joe suggested removing the menu item subject
Wish listChrissi
  • WIP II Wish List
    • No. 2 reviewed - Overhaul 'support' pages for UG degrees
    • Noted could be something that the core team could develop in parallel
    • Paul noted that these pages will need to be updated in some way once CSP is rolled out otherwise the content will be incorrect
    • Risk noted around changing the way in which we provide programme advice in the changes the taxonomy
  • There was some discussion around the future location of the high level list of 'mega topics'. Discussed could be on the home page of future students, but needs to be confirmed.
